I’ve never heard any libertarians be referred to as “moderate”. As far as I understand it, “libertarianism” already includes a radical worldview. Wanting less government an simultaneously more government control IMHO sound a bit oxymoronic.
As an anarchist myself, of course I disagree with your stance on the practicability on anarchism. ;)
Well, looks like conversation is impossible then. Unless you have better sources, those two words are not 100% the same. Anarchism is a specific word, coming from the greek anarkhia, meaning “without a ruler”. Libertarianism, on the contrary, is a more broad word, since liberta is latin for “freedom”.
This is not about the dictionary, but about historical movements/strains of thought. The french “socialisme libertaire” is the term they used in 18th century France. And libertarian socialism aims for the freedom of all people from rulers.
